AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Interval Recording (or Time Sampling) involves observing whether a behavior occurs or does not occur during specified time periods. Once the length of an observation session is identified, the time is broken down into smaller intervals that are all equal in length.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, a researcher may observe a group of children for 10 seconds every 5 minutes for a specific 30-minute period each day, noting the occurrence or nonoccurrence of particular behaviors (overt actions). Observations taken during these periods are known as time samples.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two such methods are frequency recording and interval recording. Frequency (or event) recording is a way to measure the number of times a behavior occurs within a given period. Frequency recording is best for behaviors with a distinct beginning and end.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sample time of a block is a parameter that indicates when, during simulation, the block produces outputs and if appropriate, updates its internal state. The internal state includes but is not limited to continuous and discrete states that are logged.
